Six word Saturday

Am I allowed a dark side?

If you look through one of these holes, you should see a close up image (Penshaw Monument in this case)

I believe it’s a trick of the eye, but I couldn’t get a shot through it to demonstrate- sorry!

So I wandered off to see the swans instead

They weren’t too impressed with me

But the silly bench didn’t seem to mind

I checked out some industrial mining heritage

Until it was time to go

I write travel blogs. It’s my job to entertain, and take you wandering along with me, and I love to do it. Sometimes it’s an escape- a welcome release when things aren’t going well. These photos I took in Herrington Country Park this week seemed to match my mood.

Cate at Show My Face welcomes all such random observations on life. Pop over and see how everyone else’s week has gone, or even play the game. Why not? The header and link will tell you how.

Not been away Jo, just that my photo stock needs replenishing. As a matter of fact we are off to your favourite place on Tuesday, eleven days in the Algarve. Couldn’t wait till spring and with what we are expecting weather wise here, it must be so much better in Portugal. Hopefully will get some nice pics.

Where I live in Southern part of Sweden there is quite a few farms that have straw roof, but it getting less and less, because of the cost and there isn’t many tradesmen left neither. It was a great post you shared with us. Thanks.

That’s it – thatched roof – couldn’t for my life find the right word. We call it straw roof and I’m sure that down here in Skåne, close to Poland – is the same thing. i think it’s only 2 or 3 left in the whole county … in the old days every roof was like that.
The best material you can use – will keep your house warm and cozy too. I love them.
